Proposed CERCLA Administrative Agreement; Circuitron Corporation 
Superfund Site, East Farmingdale, Suffolk County, NY

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Agency's May 24, 1995, ``Guidance on 
Agreements with Prospective Purchasers of Contaminated Property,'' 
notice is hereby given of a proposed prospective purchaser agreement 
(``PPA'') with the United States Environmental Protection Agency; 
Suffolk County, New York; the State of New York; and an as-of-yet 
unnamed ``Auction Purchaser'' regarding a 0.9-acre parcel of real 
property (the ``Property'') included within the Circuitron Corporation 
Superfund Site, located at 82 Milbar Boulevard in East Farmingdale, 
Suffolk County, New York (the ``Site''). Under the PPA, Suffolk County 
would market the Property at auction, with a portion of the proceeds to 
be paid to EPA in reimbursement of response costs it incurred at the 
Site. Also under the PPA, the United States and the State would 
covenant not to sue or take administrative action against Suffolk 
County and its departments and agencies, and the Auction Purchaser, 
under Sections 106 or 107(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended 
(``CERCLA''). EPA also agrees to release the CERCLA Section 107(l) lien 
against the Property, and waive any lien or right to perfect any lien 
it may have on the Property now and in the future under Section 107(r) 
of CERCLA. By publication of this Notice, a thirty (30) day period has 
been established in which the Agency will accept written comments 
relating to the PPA agreement. The Agency will consider all comments 
received and may modify or withdraw its consent to the PPA if comments 
received disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the 
agreement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. The Agency's 
response to any comments received will be available for public 
inspection at the
